The four A Play, A Pie and A Pint shows to be performed at major Fringe venue this spring

Four hour-long shows already set to be performed in the production’s home base in Glasgow are to be shown at the Assembly Roxy between April and June.

Renowned for supporting hundreds of creatives across its 21 years, A Play, A Pie and A Pint showcases new writing and new work from established playwrights performed at lunchtime.

New Scottish writer and actor Stephanie MacGaraidh will present Off the Rails - her professional writing debut with a live-looped musical comedy about how far one woman will go to escape her demons - and which ScotRail service will get her there the fastest.

Meanwhile Edinburgh born performer and singer Hannah Howie showcases Funeral for my Boobs, an autobiographical musical about making the decision to have a double mastectomy.

Presenting the untold story of the world’s first black international footballer who captained Scotland to glory against England, The Corinthian, by Joe McCann, is an exploration of Andrew Watson’s life and how he was written out of history.

Finally, a new story from acclaimed Scots writer Debbie Hannan, The Hen Night, follows three hens on a tequila-fuelled odyssey to save their bride-to-be best friend. This play will also see an additional 6pm show on 18 June.

A Play, A Pie and A Pint has previously staged work from writers including Liz Lochhead, Jackie Kay, Douglas Maxwell, David Ireland and more, with some of Scotland’s most prestigious actors treading the boards from Robbie Coltrane to Karen Dunbar and Elaine C Smith.

Four other shows in the series will be performed at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh during March, while the full programme will be on at Oran Mor in Glasgow.

Dani Rae, managing director at Assembly Roxy said, “We’re thrilled to welcome A Play, A Pie and A Pint to Assembly Roxy for the first time this spring with a fantastic roster of new work for audiences to enjoy.

“A Play, A Pie and A Pint has been an integral part of Scottish theatre for over two decades, and we’re hugely excited to be able to host the iconic lunchtime plays in Roxy Upstairs this year. The progamme is a wonderful showcase of new Scottish writing and we can’t wait to be a part of the season.”

Food and drink is included in the ticket price, where Assembly Roxy’s collaboration will see audiences enjoy fresh meat or vegan pies from Southbridge’s specialty bakers Piemaker and Leith brewed Pilot pints, wine or non-alcoholic drinks from Roxy's Central Bar.

Brian Logan, artistic director at A Play, A Pie and A Pint said, “We’re delighted to be teaming up with Assembly Roxy to bring a selection of our work for the first time to their audiences.

“We couldn’t be more excited by this new partnership, and by the four extraordinary new shows that will be winging their way from Oran Mor to the capital.”
